Fairy Quilt

“Appliqué All the Way”

It would be a
wonderful décor piece or even a special gift for a beautiful young lady.

Either way we
will show you how to use our free designs to make this lovely quilt.

The Pieces

First you’re
going to need all of the pieces to assemble this quilt. We’re going to show you how to make a simple
block for this pattern.

It’s up to
you how big or small the finished work will be.

Our finished
quilt block will be 14” x 18”.

Background
fabric must be cut to at least 14.5” x 18.5” to accommodate this.

Each of the
following pictures are designs that you can print out for templates. They are the appliquéd pieces. You might be want to resize them if you want
bigger or smaller designs to work with.
You can do this with the basic editing program that is on most
computers.

Hint: You might want to use an exacto knife or
small scissors, cuticle scissors work well, to cut out the design perfectly.

Steps

Decide
which fabric will be your background. We
suggest something of the lighter variety.
White works well.

Which
fabrics will be your applique?

For
the appliqué pieces, cut out your fusible before your fabric. The reason for this is that the ¼” grace will
be added after you cut the fusible or freezer paper. Either one can be used. Go with what method you prefer.

Once
the interfacing is cut, press it onto the wrong side of your fabric. Make sure to leave at least ¼” spacing around
each appliqué piece.

Then
cut a ¼” around the fusible. This is
your grace!

After
you have completed the previous step, use the method you prefer to complete
your applique pieces before pressing onto the background fabric.

Arrange
your placement.

Press
the applique pieces in the desired location.

Sew
the pieces down with a tight zigzag stitch.

Finishing

To finish out
the quilt, assemble all of the quilting blocks needed for the size of quilt
that is your project.

Sew all the
blocks and rows together to complete the quilt top.

Once you have
your quilting cookie (think Oreo), quilt your materials by stitching in the
ditch. This ensures that your designs stay intact and keep their allure.
